I bought this to treat my acid reflux and I think its helping. Manuka honey has been shown to help the lining of the esophagus heal from acid damage and this is genuine manuka from New Zealand. It helps with the dry scratchy throat I get sometimes and tastes good to me. It kind of tastes like black licorice so if thats not a flavor you like then you might not like these. Manuka honey is not as smooth tasting or as mild in flavor as other kinds of honey.
